Positive Breastfeeding Images in Children's Literature:
An Interview with Author Mary Olsen
By Shel Franco
came from an essentially different place than my inspiration. I was motivated to write this book because there were so few children's books about breastfeeding available, and I wanted to fill this need, but my inspiration came from the pure bliss I found in breastfeeding my darling daughter. I was so blown away by the entire breastfeeding experience that I had to express it somehow. Creating a children's book about breastfeeding turned out to be the perfect way for me to help fill the huge void in the children's book market, as well as express my overwhelming love and appreciation for the incredible experience of sustaining my daughter's life with breastfeeding.
SF: What do you hope to accomplish from publishing the book?
MO: I hope that all the children who read, look at or gnaw on Want to see more?
